How to Ignite Team Performance
(+356) 2011 2000
#1 Embrace a culture of engagement
As one of the key factors encouraging productivity, the promotion of employee engagement is one of the most prominent management trends of recent years. Ensuring that every employee’s voice is heard can be an incredibly effective way to promote productivity, as well as a sense of belonging within a team. In fact, highly engaged employees were found to be around 20% more productive than employees who are not fully engaged. Engaged employees have also been found to record 40% less absenteeism, thanks in no small part to their passion and purpose within the workplace.
Thus, management and HR executives are often looking for efficient methods of ensuring that employees feel engaged within their organisation. Through the emergence of technology within the world of HR, automated engagement tools are now a possibility.
Brightspark’s Review feature, paired with the integration of 3rd party applications such as Microsoft Outlook, Skype and Microsoft Teams all work to ensure that employees have all the tools an employee needs to engage within their team and increase teamwork.

#2 Ensure that employees get the right recognition
Everyone appreciates acknowledgement. Recent studies have indicated that the implementation of some form of recognition system is likely to garner over 60% more engagement from employees. As engagement is becoming more and more important within an open workplace, it has become vital for HR managers to try and find an efficient system that fairly rewards employees for their efforts.
One of the most effective ways that an organisation can give employees the recognition they deserve comes in the form of employee awards. In fact, a 1,000-company study found that employees value recognition, rather than merely pay or benefits, as a strong motivator in engagement. There are many cutting-edge solutions that can help simplify the employee awards process, such as Brightspark’s Rewards feature, which allows employees to share their recognition badges as well as any benefits that come with them.
#3 Encourage employee growth
Nowadays, employees are always looking for new opportunities to grow professionally and acquire new skillsets for their current roles. Through training, employees seek to develop their full potential, allowing your team to evolve and adapt to emerging trends in any industry.
However, this gives HR managers the difficult task of compiling the most useful opportunities for employees, while also having to track the progress that each employee makes with their respective opportunities.
Employees also often face the headache of finding available slots to book any useful training. To combat this, many organisations look for automated training management systems to aid in closely monitoring employee training and progress.
Brightspark also facilitates this by implementing the Training feature, which can help both managers and employees to stay on top of their training commitments.
